Al- endale County will receive $17,622, 5a in Ik* rg $30,477 and Aiken $53,864. Concerning the operation of the aw, Mr. iiethea gave out an an nouncement, which follows in part: “State appropriations seem to have ' /ecu equalled under the new law. It is thought that only a nominal in- rease will be needed for the schools ’or the scholastic year 1925-26. ‘Applications have been coming in from every county in the State for the past six weeks. The county superin tendents, trustees, superintendents, principals ami tethers have shown considerable interest in the operation of the law and just how it would af fect their particular schools. ‘The approving of the applications has been a rather tedious process since several things have to be taken into consideration before granting aid to a school. The schedule of salaries of superintendents, supervisors, prin cipals and teachers, grade of certifi cate, tenure of service, enrollment, av erage attendance, and many other fine spun points have to he reckoned with in order that a school secures the amount of State aid that it is entitled to. “The operation of the law has proved a success, and has been the means of lengthening the school term of a number of schools which failed to run for seven months under the old laws. It has equalized the educational opportunity so far as the teacher’s Salary is concerned throughout the State for a period of six months. It has stabilized State appropriations which until the present year were increasing at a tremendous rate. It lias had a tendency to foster consoli dation and to eliminate the ill pre- jpared and udtvaincd teacher. It should, slightly increase the percent age of attendance in the schools and should create a new perspective to wards the State school system.” State Constables Arrest White Man Henry Fields, a white man, who 'aid rA* hail from Georgia, was s * wor/ i* am of the pavilion to the monument'^xnarking the nearby grave.
